- Which Sun folks said that? Certainly not the same people who wrote the
- screenblank(1) manpages:
-
- SCREENBLANK(1) USER COMMANDS SCREENBLANK(1)

- [.......]
- DESCRIPTION
- [.......]
-
- Place the screenblank command in your /etc/rc.local file.
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- I would really want know what ill effects it would have on the
- system by running it in rc.local cause I have been doing this on all
- 10+ of my Suns.
-
- The only problem that I have ever had is that if there is anything
- wrong with the system and the keyboard does not respond, I won't be able to
- see what's wrong with it.
